How about using an earlier, less resource-intensive verison of OSX? Mebbe
10.3 will be faster than 10.5.

Are you watching images? I do this all time e from a G5 PM via 
wireless to a TiBook 500. But I mount the image on the TiBook.


Streaming -- a connection via IP to a server (another computer) 
running a real-time streaming software package.  Most often this uses 
http as the transport protocl.  The point is that the server software 
priorititzed so as to push the data at full speed.


Sounds like what you'all are doing is just feeding a player some sort 
of afp or smb or http url and hoping the general server daemon 
magically manages to push fast enough.

Re: stream movies? no-can-do!

[Kris Tilford]

I'm not clear on what you mean by "stream" movies?

I have a very similar setup, an overclocked 1.58 GHz G4 Mini w/10.4.11  
& 1GB RAM attached to 42" Samsung LCD TV attached to an 802.11n Time  
Machine. I can "stream" wirelessly movies that are stored on my G5 as  
MOV, MPEG, or other common video file formats over 802.11n wireless  
and they play fine on the TV played by the G4 Mini. I also have cable  
modem internet which is connected to the Time Machine and directly  
wired to the Mini over gigabit ethernet, but I still can't get smooth  
video of most "streamed" internet video.


I think it's likely you're talking about "streaming" as in "Flash  
video content" that is nearly ubiquitous on the web? If this is the  
case, about all you can do is hope and pray that Adobe optimizes Flash  
for better Mac performance. I can't see this happening any time soon  
for our now abandoned PPC hardware, so the best you can do is make  
sure you have the latest Flash plugin version 10.1.53.64 (check your  
version at: ). I don't  
think the G4 Mini will ever be powerful enough for streaming Flash  
video, which is one reason it's not on the iPhone or iPad. Any PC will  
play Flash video fine, so consider using a cheapie PC for streaming  
Flash if you absolutely need it. On the Mac side, even my dual 2.3 G5  
struggles with Flash, so you'd likely need something very powerful for  
smooth streaming Flash on an LCD TV at full screen resolutions.


As I've harped before, Leopard is a 15-20% drag on any PPC Mac  
compared to Tiger, so you've already got a drag on the System. Second,  
if this truly a "first generation" Mini (1.25 GHz) it's probably not  
fast enough to begin with, my 1.58 GHz is "just barely" fast enough,  
and I'm ready to upgrade ASAP because it's often using 100% CPU to  
display video at 1680x1050. I'd advise you to downgrade to Tiger if  
possible to get maximum horsepower out of a G4 Mini (warning: Tiger &  
Leopard offer DIFFERENT combinations of resolution/refresh rates on my  
G4 Mini w/32MB Radeon 9200, so you may not be able to get the correct  
resolution/refresh rate for your TV. I think it's really strange these  
change between Tiger & Leopard, but they do).

Lightening processor load will certainly help.




I have a couple of 500 MHz machines I like to play DVDs on and if I  
have the Mail on each incoming causes a glitch so you need all the  
processor you can get.
You should be able to play images with the Mini in fine fashion  
though. Also I use an Ethernet wireless n bridge on my Cubes because  
it's faster than AirPort b card.

Adrian's got it here.
Turn off everything except the video stuff and it'll help,  
Everything! AFAIK my latest project machine in this catagory is a G4  
Cube with a Sonnet 1.2 GHz processor and 1.5 GB RAM and it just  
squeeks by on a good amount of streamed stuff but by no means all and  
it's kinda annoying But it plays images super and great sound.

I hate to admit John is right. The search parameter including the term 10.5
on the Apple site gave me what I sent you. I trusted Apple to have a find
smart enough to give me the info for all search parameters. I just got in
too much hurry to check the page.

The Snow Leopard i use is on locked down systems at the university so I
don't get to play with the config.

To bad about losing memory RAM allocation from any OS . a step back to
earlier Winblows daze IMO. Dynamic allocation is user unfriendly.

AFAIK OS X takes care of this I just make sure with this type of  
operation I have the RAM maxed if I can, I find that the faster the  
processor the better, for me about 1.25 or better is around the bare  
minimum for the flicks.

Does the Mini play the stream well when hooked direct to cable

 Plays very well when hooked directly.


Enough RAM for the Mini to buffer?

 1 gb (max)


Background processes turned off or minimized ?

nothing else running (I think) need to do a bit of homework here.


Enough memory allocation to the app?

  How do I do this?
